BACKGROUND

Three dimensional (3D) models have many uses in modern communication, such as novel view generation.“Novel view generation'is using the video from several cameras to con struct a view from a point where there is no physical camera. This is valuable to provide a fly-through view of a factory or a sports game or a meeting, for example. Reconstruction algorithms for 3D models suffer from problems, such as incompletion due to occlusions and inaccuracy. Using tem poral information has proven useful for improving recon struction quality in some cases with rigid structures or restricted motion.
